Selling For Sale By Owner (FSBO)?
Many homeowners consider selling FSBO to save on commission, but quickly encounter significant challenges. While it offers potential savings, the process can be complex and time-consuming, often leading to lower sale prices or legal complications.
Common FSBO Challenges:
- Lack of Exposure: Without MLS access, your home won't be seen by the vast majority of active buyers working with agents.
- Pricing Errors: Overpricing can lead to your home sitting on the market, while underpricing means leaving money on the table.
- Time Commitment: Managing inquiries, scheduling showings, and hosting open houses can be overwhelming.
- Negotiation Skills: Effective negotiation requires experience to secure the best terms and price.
- Complex Paperwork: Real estate contracts and disclosures are legally binding and can be confusing.
- Legal Risks: Mistakes in contracts or disclosures can lead to costly lawsuits.
